I mean, Merkel may have to step down if that happens, she'll either do that or have to go through 4 excruciating years of legislative gridlock in a minority parliament which could have the AfD be the winning party

Then the only other options are the Jamaica coalition (dead on arrival) or a reluctant coalition with AfD

Merkel appointed a successor today, the so-called “mini Merkel”

CDU is spiraling

I think eventually they may have to do what the ÖVP did in Austria and pick someone who would appeal to that crowd instead of a conservacuck

The ÖVP was basically just "CDU but in Austria" and then Strache came along, I think that same thing could very well happen in Germany.

In any case, Godspeed to them.
